Shockwave Therapy in Grand Forks

If you’ve been dealing with a nagging soft-tissue injury that just won’t seem to heal, shockwave therapy might be worth a conversation. It’s a non-invasive treatment option we offer at ChiroRx Chiropractic & Wellness Care for patients who haven’t gotten the results they were hoping for from rest, stretching, or other conservative care.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy (also called ESWT) uses focused acoustic waves directed at the injured area to help stimulate your body’s own healing response. It’s designed for chronic or recurring tendon and soft-tissue problems that tend to linger, and it works well alongside the chiropractic care we’re already providing. Sessions are typically quick, and most patients find it fits easily into a busy schedule.

Who It’s For

We commonly use shockwave therapy for patients dealing with pain that keeps coming back or injuries that never quite calm down. Some of the conditions we see most often include:

• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Achilles tendon irritation
• Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff and shoulder tendon pain
• Patellar tendon pain (knee)
• Hip tendon pain
• Chronic muscle tightness and trigger points

What to Expect

When you come in, we’ll start with a quick conversation about your symptoms, how long they’ve been going on, and what you’ve already tried. From there, we’ll examine the area and figure out what’s most likely driving the problem.

If shockwave therapy looks like a good fit, we’ll walk you through what the treatment involves, how many sessions you’re likely to need, and what to expect during and after each visit. Most people describe the sensation as uncomfortable but tolerable, and we adjust the intensity based on your feedback. We’ll also give you guidance on what to do at home between sessions to support your progress.
